The premise (tl,dr version,credit to HHDeception. Edited by empireoffire):

10 years after BW2, an organization called Team Nova has taken over the world. With a technology called StarBurst, they can take over the minds of almost any pokemon on a whim, even through their pokeballs. Trainers are nearly useless. Most Gym leaders and Elite Four members are dead. Soldiers rose up to replace them. Weapons and technology are almost always preferred to a team of pokemon at your side.

StarBurst takes the form of an energy weapon, whether blasters, lightsabers, or halberds. NVE against a human, but instant mind screw to a pokemon. Only Legendary pokemon, or those with a very strong life-long bond to a human can hope to resist StarBurst. The more pokemon you carry, the more thin your bond with them is spread, hence you should probably only carry one. Two max.

There are three factions of resistance:

Xerneas: Team Plasma. They refuse to use StarBurst but will fight for peace regardless.Mewtwo: What is left of the Pokemon League. They use StarBurst as a means to an end.Yveltal: No formal organization until recently. Those who seek the destruction of Nova at any cost are sought out by Yveltal to be his agents. More members would be nice!

Nova is horribly OP, and pretty much nobody has a chance against one of the admins (Duncan, Celena) let alone the Leader (Maurice) one on one. They have the technology to wipe an island off the face of the Earth, and then some. GM and cyborg pokemon are not out of the question, but haven't really been explored yet.

Johto is Nova HQ, Kanto and Unova are also heavily guarded. Sinnoh and Hoenn less so. Orre is not under Nova control, and Kalos has been wiped off the map. Other regions haven't really been fleshed out yet.

Legendary pokemon are immune to StarBurst, but that doesn't mean people haven't captured them. You are allowed to have one as a partner, but not Ubers, and a lot have been spoken for.

As for trainers like Red, use them sparingly, but use them if you want. It is suggested you check the NPC list (which may be incomplete) to see who has already been taken.---size does not matter....weight does.other aliases: gamefreak043, Cyborg-Kangaroo, Joe The Smurf

"What kind of crazy are you!?" Uranus shouted at Meridia as he struggled to remove the Squirtle. "How could anyone, rebel or Nova, do this to a man!?"---Official Amnesiac Darkrai of the Pokemon X BoardYou know why spiders know how to spin webs when they hatch? Because F*** You! That's why.

For a man, your manhood's not looking too good right now.

John Doe looked to his side to see Ceela holding up her communicator... Filming the whole ordeal.

"And you, Mr. Woman there!" he continued shouting in pain as Squirtle moved crawled onto his shoulder and bit an ear off. "Why are you filming this!? Have you no decency!? Do you plan to air this on MewTube!?"---Official Amnesiac Darkrai of the Pokemon X BoardYou know why spiders know how to spin webs when they hatch? Because F*** You! That's why.
